My wife and I had never left our dog with anyone other than my parents overnight so we felt like the best fit would be someone who would be with our dog the whole time. Krista stayed with our dog the whole weekend gave her plenty of playtime and attention and took great care of her! We were very satisfied with her care and would definitely use Krista again.

At the last minute, my mature dog, Maple developed an ugly small tumor. I took the dog to the Vet and she was given oral and topical antibiotic, but these did not help. I felt anxious leaving my dog due to this problem. But Krista was kind, patient, and willing to care for the dog in my absence. Both dogs were taken care of well, and when my next trip comes up, I will contact Krista. Thank you!

Krista was a blessing. Our usual sitter was out of town and we had to find someone to watch our high energy Sheltie for 5 days, and Krista came through for us. Every time I would check in, she would reply within the hour, sending me updates and pictures of our little guy! When we booked she had another client request the same dates, made sure we were comfortable with it and gave all the details to keep us in the loop. Honestly such a relief to not have to worry about your fur-friend when you have to be away, and Krista was the purrrfect person for the job! Side note: our flight even got delayed and she was super understanding about us being behind schedule! 11/10 recommend.
